An hour later, the slave ship was finally suppressed by the two men. The crew members were all tied up by Queeg, and there were no people left who could resist. The ship also maintained its autopilot route and continued to sail toward Rome.
There should be no more incidents on the road.
Moreover, this ship has an automatic sailing setting. In fact, it does not require many sailors to control the ship. The sailors on the ship are lazy and lazy. Rather than existing to maintain the normal operation of the ship, it is better to say that they are just responsible for escorting the group of people.
slave.
"Slave at the bottom of the cabin?" Kugg researched the control panel of the system and asked.
"No matter. Why, let me take care of it." Elaine said coldly. He thought of the hellish scene at the bottom of the cabin, and he wanted to vomit when he thought about it. There was no way he would enter that kind of place again. And the slaves
His life and death have nothing to do with him.
"But, it's so pitiful." Queeg said, "At least, let him out of the cage?"
"They couldn't move even after they were released. They were all covered with muscle relaxants and injected with muscle relaxants to prevent them from escaping during transportation." Elaine whispered: "You don't have that much antidote. Save everyone. Wait until the ship arrives.
In Rome, there must be slaves and slave owners coming to collect slaves. Can you let the slaves out of the cage and ensure that the slaves are not hunted back?"
"Change the route?" Queeg asked: "For example, to France? Wait for the slaves to wear off the drug, let them land and escape?"
"There are still passengers and people taking refuge on the ship." Elaine asked depressingly: "Take them too, take them to France? Wouldn't this mean that we become bad, bad people, kidnapped the crew, and hijacked the ship?"
?"
"Hijacking is not allowed?" Leopard asked back: "If there are tourists, approach the island, launch a small boat, and drive them away. If the boat does not dock, continue to escape."
"Wow -" a drop of sweat broke out on the white lion boy's forehead: "You, are you a devil?"
"It's a leopard." Queeg ignored Elaine's sarcasm: "Will the ship be sunk?"
"No... this is an Egyptian ship, and it may be carrying refugees. Neither Rome nor France will open fire indiscriminately. The power of the slave owner is not great enough to allow warships to open fire. At best, they will open fire on
, just complaining to the police." Elaine thought: "It is indeed possible to go there, find an island to park the ship near France, and release the slaves. Then I and we will escape. No one knows what we did."
"But, those [witnesses]?"
He was referring to the tied up crew members and the scimitar-hand Morun.
"I won't kill them, but I will throw them on the same island as the slaves." Elaine said, "It's up to the slaves to deal with them how they want."
"Are you the devil?" Queeg asked back.
"Yes, it's a lion." Elaine said sarcastically, imitating Queeg.
The ship's route has been reset, and the operation process is actually simpler than Elaine imagined. The automatic navigation system has simplified the operation to the point that almost any fool who knows how to read can use it. It is no wonder that the original simple-minded captain can also use it.
The boat was running in an orderly manner.
In the end, according to Queeg's proposal, the "Osprey" will stop for a while near Sardinia, allowing the passengers and refugees on the ship to take small boats to the island. After that, the "Osprey" will speed up and sail away from the island, heading for France.
Head forward and finally find a place to land - Elaine initially determined the landing point to be one of the small islands in the Yere Islands.
By this time in the voyage, the muscle relaxants on the slaves on the ship should have almost worn off. Even if they did not wear off, Elaine and Queeg could still move the slaves to the shore and then let them go. After that, the slaves
They either escape by themselves, or give up the resistance and other slaves to capture them. They are all their own choices.
The possibility that Rome would send a warship to pursue it is very low. It is possible that the slave owners would send a ship to pursue it, but the pursuit by an irregular ship does not pose much of a threat. Elaine is confident that she can repel it. Plan
That's fine for now.
Knowing that he could relax for the time being, the white lion boy couldn't help but rub his shoulders.
"Take a bath?" Kugg asked. After so much, the smell on Eleine should have been difficult to smell the ultimate. Kugg just didn't make it clear.
"Is there a bath, a bathroom?" Elaine asked.
"There must be a captain's cabin." Queeg said, "It's over there."
The captain's cabin and the bridge of this ship are next to each other, so that the captain can enter the bridge for command at any time. This kind of structure is very common for such a small transport ship. Since the captain has been defeated, Elaine
You're welcome to use the facilities on this ship.
He then opened the door and entered the captain's cabin, intending to take a shower. What appeared in front of him was a quite luxuriously furnished captain's cabin. As the captain of a slave ship, that guy must have made a lot of money over the years.
Such a luxurious layout is expected. Elaine only hopes that the bathroom attached to the captain's cabin is equally luxurious, or at least... hygienic enough.
He was dumbfounded as soon as he opened the bathroom door.
Luxury is indeed luxurious, and the hygiene is adequate. But what the hell are hanging in the glass cabinet next to the bathroom. The cabinet of indescribable utensils made Elaine blush.
"What's wrong?" Queeg came over and asked, "Can you wash it yourself? Do you want me to help you wipe your back?"
"Go away... go away, go away, go away!" Elaine hurriedly drove Queeg out: "Don't, don't come over when I'm taking a shower!"
"But--"
"Go and release the slaves from the cage. Check the ships again to see if the crew members are tied up." Elaine specially found something for the leopard to do, and tried to find a way to distract Queeg: "Anyway, go quickly!"
"Okay." Kugg exposed a slightly grievance expression: "See you outside."
"Even if we don't see anyone outside, I won't let you wash it with me!" the white lion boy complained angrily.
Kugg turned around to deal with the miscellaneous service that Eleine had entrusted him.
"Huh?" He took two steps and suddenly felt dizzy: "How...?"
Boom. Then he fell flat to the ground in a textbook style, and fell very dullly on the soft carpet in the captain's cabin.
"Hey! What's wrong with you?"
Queeg did not answer. He was lying on the ground shaking slightly, as if he was in quite a lot of pain. Elaine leaned over and looked at Queeg in confusion. The young leopard man had a high fever and was sweating profusely.
Sick? - But it's impossible. There is no disease in the world that can make people suddenly fall ill in such a short period of time, and the symptoms worsen so quickly.
Poisoned. Elaine suddenly understood what was going on, and immediately lifted up Queeg's shirt and took a look.
Sure enough, on the right side of Queeg's lower abdomen, a piece of black was spreading. There were two wounds on the lower abdomen (although they were both skin injuries), one of which was left during the initial sneak attack by the scimitar hand Moran, and the other was
Both wounds were caused by Elaine, both close to the liver, although neither attack actually hit Queeg's liver.
But the wound left by Molun's sword was filled with black air. The weapon Molun used to assassinate Queeg contained toxin, and it was probably fatal. The blow was originally aimed at Queeg's liver.
It came to stab, but it didn't hit (Queg's virtualization prevented the blow), and it only penetrated part of the fur and superficial muscle tissue on the front and back of Queeg's body.
But a small part of the poison still remained on Queeg's body. Because the amount of the poison was very small and it only spread on the wound, Queeg could still be alive and kicking before, but the poison has not fully taken effect until now. If
That blow really hit Queeg's liver, and the leopard is probably dead now. But even if it didn't hit and just pierced the flesh, the poison was still very deadly!
"You stupid, idiot." Elaine groaned: "You feel uncomfortable, why do you have to endure it and not say anything?"
"Hey...hehe..." The young leopard man was giggling, his smile was quite pale.
With no other choice, Elaine tried her best to carry Queeg to the bed in the captain's cabin to let the leopard take a rest.
"Don't die, I'll go look for the antidote." Elaine said. Scimitar Hand Molun is very likely to have the antidote. Now we can only hope so.
Queeg nodded slightly and did not answer. His physical condition was deteriorating rapidly, and the high fever would not go away. So Elaine went back into the bathroom, found a random towel and wet it with water, and put it on Queeg's head to cool down.
After handling this matter, Elaine quickly ran out to find Mo Lun, who had been tied up just now.
"Yo." Mo Lun had already woken up. He had just fainted from the pain and his veins were swollen, and his skin was a dark purple color lacking oxygen: "You bastard, what good things have you done?"
Elaine didn't say anything else. She came up and slashed twice at Mo Lun's shoulders, directly cutting off the tendons in Mo Lun's shoulders.
"Hmm...!" The guy's tendon was cut off and it should be painful, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.
"Do you want to get from me?" He laughed, and the lunatic was extraordinarily abnormal.
"Where is the antidote?" Elaine asked in a cold tone: "Quick, give it to me."
"There can't be an antidote for that poison." Scimitar Hand Molun said, "It is originally a poison that is used to kill opponents quickly. Why do you think I still keep the antidote?"
Elaine felt a chill in her heart: "You...!"
"What? You want to kill me to vent your anger?" Mo Lun chuckled and said: "Okay, then do it. I chased you here for revenge, and I had the consciousness of being killed. I have skills.
I am not as good as human beings. If I am defeated by you, I must admit my defeat, that’s all.
——And you, just kill me.
You have proven that you and I are the same people. People who rely on their own power to do whatever they want. You will one day be defeated by a greater power and taste failure and regret, hahahahaha!"
"I'm not with you, it's different." Elaine said, "Failure, regret ... I have been trying. I have been trying everything ... I have never achieved ... I have been ... Failure.
...but, but I didn't give up.
You and I are different!"
He raised the knife and lowered it, and slashed the two scimitars towards Mo Lun. The tip of the scimitar stopped half an inch beside the guy, stuck on the ground, and did not hurt anyone. Elaine's heart was obviously filled with the urge to kill.
, but Queeg's voice echoed in his mind. Therefore, he did not take action.
"You are already useless." The white lion boy said: "I cut your tendons, and the knife was very, very perfect. It will never be cured, and it cannot be cured. No matter how hard you try, even a powerful doctor cannot cure you.
Don't, don't even think about fighting with weapons in this life. Be an honest man, use a kitchen knife to cut vegetables, peel an apple, maybe you can still do it... Goodbye."
He turned and left.
"Hey! Don't leave!! Come back!" Mo Lun roared: "You hypocrite! You coward! You don't even have the courage to kill your enemy? I poisoned your friend!!"
"No, he is not my friend." Elaine turned around and looked at Mo Lun coldly: "You poisoned the wrong person."
He left Molun and left without looking back, no matter how the other party shouted and insulted him.
He returned to the captain's cabin and looked at Queeg, who was dying on the bed.
At that moment, something inside Elaine suddenly broke.
"Yes, I'm sorry..."
The white lion boy knelt in front of the bed and cried bitterly.
"...I...I am a disaster. No matter where I go...I will kill the people around me...
I shouldn't have let you follow me... I knew... it would kill you...
But...I'm so lonely...I'm so...painful...I just...don't want...to go on alone..."
"……I know."
One hand placed on Elaine's head and gently rubbed the white lion boy's hair.
"Everyone knows..." Queeg said weakly.
Elaine raised her head and looked at the leopard in disbelief.
Logically speaking, Queeg should have been poisoned more and more deeply, and his physical condition would continue to deteriorate. At this time, Queeg should have been eroded by the poison and fell unconscious. How could he wake up at this time?
And why does he... look more energetic than before?
"What did you do?" Elaine asked doubtfully.
"Hmm...[disappear]?" Quigg replied in a low voice: "The body, except toxins, will all be dispelled?"
Elaine showed an even more incredible expression. But he seemed to understand what was going on.
For Queeg, the toxins flowing in his blood and accumulated in his skin are all foreign matter in the body.
Queeg can [virtualize] any part of his body and move it into the subspace. Naturally, he can also [virtualize] his entire body - except for the toxins - and move it into the subspace.
So what will happen to the toxin left in the real space? Like mist or water vapor, it will penetrate Queeg's body and settle down, eventually landing on the sheets where Queeg lies.
Elaine saw a faint pool of black sweat on the sheets and knew that this was what happened.
Queeg's [Hollow] can also be used to detoxify himself - as long as he realizes that the things in his body are toxins and are not part of his body.
Is this [virtualization] ability really omnipotent?!
"Give me back my emotion!" Elaine said, wiping her tears.
"Huhu... no return." Quigg replied softly, continuing to caress Elaine's head.
